We have a number of HP series II (and Apple series II) laser printers
that are developing a very ugly scratch on the fusing roller. It appears
that the heat sensor (thermostat?) may be the culprit. Now with the series
I engines, we were able to purchase the fussing roller as a seperate entity,
and make some cost effective repairs, but we have been unable to do the same
for the series II printer, HP is nailing us over $200 for a complete
fusing assembly.

Does anyone have any recommendation on how to avoid this problem?How about
any techniques for actually repairing the fusing roller? How about a
source for the rollers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance
